Suprised at the responses and I have to agree I think most people get too agressive on scouting they go until they see animals.(Responses here go with my thinking) Now from far away you can safely glass them that's fine but most people go potting around in the area and put all the animals on...
Dang bitterroot bulls suggested my exact method and over a couple years the barrels I swear are slicker and slicker no proof just my mind I guess but my dad thought the same thing
Ya I hate them dang things. Kill some every year but especially hate when I crawl up under a baler to grease it and they are up in there. That would make a preacher swear. I really don't like snakes but I don't kill bull snakes all others usually get head chopped by a shovel or pistol comes out.
Kinda depends on you style of hunting. I actually use ripcord but I also do some stalking by crawling on my belly drawing the bow while down and rotating it up ready to shoot . Most the time the smackdown allowed the arrow down but once in a while it would hang up on the side by the pad that was...
LOL man I usually have those the night before season not in May!! funny enough last year(night before the season) I dreamed I pulled the limbs off my bow when I drew back. Years earlier on my bighorn hunt the bullet basically rolled out the barrel when I shot. Luckily never has anything happened...
x2 I may start out pretty dark by the time I take a picture it just looks like I just have a slightly dirty face. Never had that hard of a time cleaning it off after I sweated it off most the day. Usually grow out the beard though as well
you summed up my thoughts from years ago perfectly. I just never had observed it but thought exactly as your describing. And speaking of those solitude bulls they are hard to find easier to find a bunch of elk than a single elk.haha
Odd wondered about this a couple years ago I swear the herd bull stayed in the dark timber while the rest of the herd hit the park to eat. Now he may have come out in the middle of the night I can't tell you that but I know first thing he was already in the timber half way up the mountain I...
Well I can't speak for the newer or hostage pro but I had the original one and grew to hate it. Hear they have improved some of my gripes so like I say this is the old original. If you shoot helical vanes your still gonna get contact I started with offset and spent tons of time turning nocks so...
Im with Justin and coyote commander just cinch it up tight on my neck with just enough to reach your eye it stays out of the way when drawing and shooting always there and little movement.
After rereading my post I didn't mean I had been doing this longer than anyone else I will whole heartedly agree most people you meet back in there are polite and not wanting to interfere. just stating that it has increased recent years and is becomming harder and harder to not see another human...
I agree HellsCanyon i've seen an increase in it around here. I've done it my whole life my dad hated crowds and always went back in there so natually thats how I learned but lately its getting harder and harder to get awayfrom everyone this last year is a perfect example we are up where we have...
The way I see It if you have only an elk tag you'll see big deer if you have only a deer tag you'll see big elk. If you have both this ensures you won't see any legal animal to take and will be plagued with bears and spikes Ha ha.
In all seriousness I say go for both that way you can be an...
